NFL quarterback No. 15 – Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals
I may be giving a little too much credit to Kyler Murray by putting him at no. 15 as he is only 22-23-1 as a starter in the league. However, the weapons around him and the offensive scheme are perfect for his skill set.
If the Cardinals can ever figure out how to put a full season together, they could be extremely dangerous. With a weak NFC this year, the Cardinals are likely the second or third best team in the division. It’s always easier when you have to beat one or two teams and not all of them like some in the AFC.
NFL quarterback No. 14 – Matt Ryan – Indianapolis Colts
No team has mastered the bridge quarterback quite like the Indianapolis Colts. Ever since the early retirement of Andrew Luck, the Colts have been on the search for a new quarterback. After Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, and Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan will be in command for the Colts.
Ryan has proven to be an extremely effective quarterback in the NFL, but we can’t act like he is still in the prime of his career. Indianapolis was a great fit with the dome, and he will also have some nice weapons available to target.
I don’t see the Colts as Super Bowl contenders, but they certainly could make the playoffs in the AFC with Ryan at the helm as he finishes the last few years of his career.
